What if a college side hustle selling textbooks could spark a $12M exit?
Nathan Hirsch did just that—turning trial-and-error Amazon sales into a global freelancer marketplace and then into a portfolio of companies built to scale without him. In this episode of Million Dollar Moment, Nathan shares the scrappy beginnings, the nail-biting setbacks, and the exact mindset that helped him know when to sell—and how to build again.

We dig into timing an exit while you’re growing, structuring earn-outs you can actually live with, bulletproofing ops (hello, hourly backups), and stacking a portfolio where each business powers the others.

In this episode of Million Dollar Moment, business broker Alex Nghiem shares a straightforward guide for entrepreneurs looking to sell their businesses for seven, eight, or even nine figures. He explains how his two companies, Exitable Agency and ExitMySaaS, help agency owners and SaaS founders navigate the selling process. By keeping the two ventures separate, Alex is able to better meet the unique needs of each type of business. He also touches on how branding and positioning can have a big impact on the final sale price.
Alex shares practical advice that every entrepreneur should know before selling their business. He talks about the importance of reducing "perceived risk," which means making sure the business doesn’t rely too heavily on one client, one revenue stream, or one key person (like the founder). Buyers aren't just looking at numbers — they want to feel confident that the business will stay strong after the sale. The more stable and predictable things look, the higher the price tag.
The episode also breaks down the process of selling a business, from signing a Letter of Intent (LOI) to finalizing the Purchase Agreement. Alex explains deal terms like "cash at close," "earn-outs," and "equity rollovers," which can lead to a second payday for founders. His simple, clear explanations make it easier to understand what can feel like a confusing process, giving entrepreneurs the tools they need to make their own million-dollar exit.

In this exciting episode of Million Dollar Moment, Brian and Brian Johnson welcome Gal Danay, the CEO and co-founder of Whoops! Macaroons. Gal shares the fascinating journey of how a small holiday market booth in Bryant Park transformed into a thriving franchise empire with over 50 locations. With a background in franchise operations, Gal and his partners saw an opportunity to introduce colorful, flavorful, and photo-worthy French macaroons to the U.S. market, a product that had yet to make its splash on American soil. From their initial $5,000 investment to generating $250K in just nine weeks, Gal’s story is a masterclass in recognizing untapped market potential and seizing it with grit and determination.
As the business grew, Whoops! moved beyond mall kiosks to build a franchise model that emphasized simplicity and efficiency. Gal explains the power of “accidental success,” reflecting on how Whoops! got its name from a spontaneous realization that "Whoops, we have a business." By designing their own custom mall carts that included refrigeration and sink systems, the team innovated in a way that set them apart from competitors. These sleek, eye-catching displays became crowd magnets, and with each colorful batch of macaroons, Whoops! steadily expanded its footprint. Gal candidly discusses the challenges of managing franchisee relationships, working with family, and balancing creative control with operational excellence.
Perhaps most impressive is Gal’s resilience in the face of adversity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, which decimated mall-based retail, Whoops! pivoted from mall sales to B2B corporate gifting and local delivery, preserving the business and even growing new revenue streams. Gal’s decision to allow franchisees to exit their contracts during the pandemic demonstrates his belief in doing business with integrity. This shift allowed him to refine his franchisee selection process, resulting in stronger, more committed partners. With a bold vision for the future, Gal plans to continue scaling Whoops! by opening in new A-list malls and evolving into larger coffee shop-style "bake boutiques." His story is a powerful reminder that persistence, adaptability, and heart are essential ingredients in any recipe for success.
